Plot

Reporter Mark Kingston learns that his brother, who was studying at Cambridge University, is reported to have committed suicide. Unconvinced, he begins his own investigation when the police dismiss his suspicions. With the help of Mary Johnson, whose professor father has gone missing, Kingston attempts to prove that there has been a murder and not a suicide on the campus.[3]

Review

Kine Weekly said "The tale is a bit involved but the characters, adequately portrayed, are briskly shuffled, its light relief is apt, the romantic asides are agreeable, and it ends on a lively, if hardly unexpected, note. What’s more, the backgrounds are authentic. Safe quota “ second"."[4]

DVD release

The film was released under the name of Murder on the Campus on DVD in the UK in October 2013, in a two film collection with the 1954 thriller, Final Appointment.
